Lindsey: My Date is a Mystery!

So this past Friday my sorority had our annual mystery hat date party, and I was so anxious to see who my date was going to be. We emailed in a list of the guys we wanted to be our dates and the head planners, paired us up and called the guy telling him he had been invited and needed to drop off a hat. So the guy doesn't know who his date is either! I was so anxious to see which guy I would get set up with, to add a little anxiousness, my best friend said he didn't get a call and I really thought he was going to be my date.

So the hat I received was a red flat bill, with a rap inside,

"Word. Get ready to crump and break. We goyna own da dance flo, ghetto fabulous where it at, hip hop video- just like that, all about swagga all about tude, lookin' fly can't wait to be yo dude. Holla."

I was so excited, yet utterly confused about who my date was going to be. So I ran to the store found a red shirt to match my hat, baggy sweat pants, a big chain, and some fly kicks! All the girls arrived at the house in their hats and coordinating outfits, snapped some pictures, and were sent to the location of the invite.

We arrived at this awesome two story venue, complete with a dance floor, and outside area with lounge couches. About forty-five minutes later all the guys arrived in their outfits and hats. You had to find your date by the hat you were wearing. The guys were pouring onto the dance floor and I searched for my matching hat but couldn't find it. I went outside to the stairwell with Kathryn, and BINGO I found him it was Tyler! He had totally fooled me, he had gotten a call and he kept it from me! He found out I was his date earlier in the week because I told him about my hat and tried to have him help me figure out who it was - little did I know it was him!

I had so much fun, dancing the night away and so glad Tyler was my date - such a great dancer, always the life of the party, and my best friend! What an awesome night!
